NEW: James Comey files additional argument to get criminal case dismissed as "vindictive prosecution":
"The indictment in this case is unique in American history: it is the product of a yearslong campaign by the President of the United States to punish a citizen for protected speech"

It’s like the Republicans are supposed to think that they’ve now done something right by not doing what is illegal in the first place.

We should start by taking healthcare away from Republican members of Congress, since they feel it’s a “fake economy” anyway
Comer: "This is a fake economy. You can't have 1/3 of America receiving some type of free government healthcare and then have another 1/3 that's getting a subsidized rate. That falls on the final 1/3 that's having to pay increased premiums."

I work in infectious disease and not many things scare me but botulism does. Grateful to my coworkers, the lab workers, and other epis that detected the current formula outbreak. Infant botulism (affectionately known as baby bot) is so terrible and this is why we need funded public health!!!!

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.
